WHITAKER, I*ro|»rl€-t or. JOHN' B. CTWILB, Kditor. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, Wednesday, November 22, 1863. TIip l»«-mocrary and the President. One of tIn* most significant, and we may add encouraging views—if the Editor be sincere—of the course which will l>e taken by the party so recently successful in New York over the De mocracy there, we find in an article of the New York. Thun headed as above, and which was ad dressed in response to I lie New World. The nr- tiele ii too lengthy for our columns, but we ex tract from it the following. What the President requires of the Southern States is thus stated: 1. Declare the ordinances of secession passed by them in 1861 to have been null and void from the beginning. 2. ItaiitV the amendment to the Constitution of the United States by which slavery is lorevcr prohibited, and (Congress is clothed with power to make all laws necessary to carry that prohibi tion into effect. h Repudiate the debts, Confederate and State, contracted lor the purpose of overthrowing the National Government. Commenting upon the.se three requisitions, the once rtuticnl Times says . If it will give a little attention to the subject, the World cannot fail to see that these things are required by President Johnson at the hands of the rebel States, as absolutely essential to their recognition and to the restoration of their local sovereignty. (Compliance with these requisitions is part of t he President’s policy of reconstruction —part of that very policy which the World pro fesses to support. If the Southern States will pass these aCts ami comply with these conditions, they will unquestionably lie restored at once to that complete control over their local affairs which they desire. If they will do this, we do not be lieve then will bey///// votes in Congress against tlm admission of their representatives. President Johnson pledges himself to favor it, and the Union party everywhere stands pledged to sus tain him in so doing. Well, these requisitions have been complied with, and we feel sure that President Johnson will do all that he stands pledged to do for the Southern States ; but trill the “Union Party” of the North, as it is termed by the Times, stand by the President v That paper says that it will— that there will not be "fifty" votes in Congress ugainst the admission of the Southern represen tatives. If so, good, and the Union will be re stored ; peace and prosperity again prevail in the land so recently drenched in blood. But we ap- j prebend still a barrier to restoration. There stands the “ test oath"—an unconstitutional requi sition, and therefore null and void. What will the News say to this? Will it and its Union friends demand this “pound of flesh?” If so, then the South will have more exacted from it than is to be found iu the three propositions the Times submits as being all that is necessary to ensure the work of reconstruction. A few weeks, however, have only to pass over, when the prob lem will be solved. We shall wa.i patiently the result. Individual and Company Enteuphisb.— 1 The evidences o 1 individual and company enterprise iu this city daily present themselves to our view and understanding. Atlanta is indeed rapidly advancing in all that must ensure for her a po sition second to no other city oft he South in all that pertains to progressive wealth, railroad, mercan tile, manufacturing, and mechanical enterprises. We were gratified to learn on yesterday, among other enterprises now in contemplation, that the large lot on Marietta street, known as the “ Mar shall Reserve,” has been purchased by oue of our old fellow-citizens—Dr. A. Alexander—who, in association with Mr. J. IT. Warner, late a Chief Engineer in the United States Navy, and Mr. .T. D. Gray, a gentleman well and favorably known in Georgia, designs erecting thereon an establish ment for the manufacture of railroad and passen ger cars of all descriptions, a rolling mill for re- rolling railroad iron, to which will be also at tached an extensive foundry. These works we learn will be put into practical operation as rap idly as possible. The well known energy of the gentlemen associated in these enterprises warrant us in the conclusion that they will prove success ful and add largely to the prosperity of our city. Neoko Suffrage in Wisconsin.—The Cin cinnati Enquirer copies tlie following item of election news from the Chicago Tribune, a Re publican paper: Wisconsin gives a Union majority of about 7,000. Universal suffrage is defeated by proba bly 10,000. The Legislature is largely Republi can in both branches. By “universal suffrage,” the Enquirer says is meant negro suffrage, and the question whether the negro should vote in Wisconsin was submit ted to the people of that State, directly, by the last Legislature iu this smooth way : Extension of suffrage, yes! Extension of suffrage, no ! By a majority of 10,000, the people of the State voted against negro suffrage, while at the same election, the Republican ticket succeeded by a majority of 7,000, as stated above. Thus it will be seen that, like Connecticut, Wisconsin opposes negro suffrage, her people sustaining President Johnson's policy in regard to that question, as against that of the radical republicans who would force upon the Southern States a measure de grading to the white race within their limits. Smai.i. Pox in Montgomehy.—The Mont gomery Ledger reports the existence of small pox in that city to an alarming extent. It says that “that most loathsome and infectious disease is abroad bore and rapidly spreading every day in all the wards;” and that the “military and municipal authorities are laboring to prevent its further increase and with some success.' l nder the circumstances, it warns the citizens of Mont gomery not to attend the circus exitibition, but to keep close at home. The daily communication between this city* and Montgomery demands that prompt sanitary measures should be adopted by our city authori ties to prevent the introduction and spread of the small pox in Atlanta. We trust that all precau tionary measures will be adopted without a day’s delay, and, in the event that it should be com municated to any of our citizens or strangers in our midst , that such attendance be provided for In advance for them, as both humanity and the interests of our city require. Dangerous Sciences.—“There is one danger ous science for women—one which let them be ware how they profanely touch—that of theolo gy.”—Ruskin. There is a science which is peculiarly dangerous for women; but it is not theology. Theology is a dangerous science for both men and women. The science that is peculiarly dangerous for wo men is politics.—Cin. Enquirer. Both are dangerous—theology and polities— to men as well as women. The former, in its teachings, embraces as many theories as the lat ter, and as many errors. Els/* why is it that the ologians adv/icate so many different creeds? By SKtlitics, men ere betrayed into numerous errors : so arc they in the teaching oftbeology. But when women assume to teach the one or the other, there is no telling what they will do next. Fifty women have recently been appointed to Southern post offices. A Pause in tiif. Great Work.—Through a telegraphic item, which has since been confirmed, we are advised that the President through his Secretary of State lias directed the Provisional (Inventors of South and North Carolina to hold on to their positions as such, until relieved by his order. In regard to Sonth Carolina, the state ment is made that the President regrets that neither the Convention, nor the Legislature of that Stuff - has repudiated the war debt, aud that South Carolina seems to decline the Congres sional amendment of the Federal Constitution abolishing slavery; also that an early adoption ot the amendment by South Carolina is deemed by the President peculiarly important and especially desirable with reference to the general situation of th/> Union. And with regard to North Caro lina, although the President telegraphs that it had done well in the acceptance of the Congres sional anti-slavery amendment, as peculiarly im portant to successful restoration, still Governor Holden has been instructed to continue Governor until relieved by express orders. These instruc tions an* hidie.uivi* of a possible delay in the great work of Southern restoration as far as the t *fcp Stall s referred to an* concerned. This is to be regretted and we trust will be obviated, for we feel satisfied that the President will permit no apparent indisposition on the part of these Suites to oppose his policy of reconstruction, when such disposition does not in reality exist, to keep them “ out in the cold,” and under military gov ernment. In connection, too, with tin* foregoing, we no tice in tin* Nashville Union the following account of the reasons which influenced the President to order Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi, to re sume mnl to continue to exercise authority Provisional Governor of that State, until other wise directed, and to send General Thomas there. That paper states that these orders were “the re sult of (he hostility of the people, in some sec tions, to the freedmen; the shooting of colored soldiers; the imprisonment of a Federal officer, Captain Peck, an agent of the Freedmen’s Bu reau, for attempting to enforce his authority in Copiah county—a citizen against whom he had issued a process to compel him to pay' a tax be ing deputed by the sheriff to arrest him, thus de grading an officer and bringing the power of the Government into contempt; the barbarous law recommended to the Legislature by the Conven tion Committee; and the failure of the Legisla ture to meet the demands of the Pesident’s policy of reorganization, whilst it clamored for the par don of Jeff. Davis and Jake Thompson, and the removal of the Federal troops.” Of the outrages, if they were perpetrated, we shall attempt no defense. As the Union remarks “the President had treated the people with the greatest forbearance and magnanimity;” and they should have manifested more respect for the Federal authorities in their State and the Gov ernment than it seems from the foregoing state ment they, or a portion of them, have clone; and with regard to the failure on the part of the Leg islature to meet the demands of the President’s policy, we think, as the Union hopes, that it “is more apparent than real, and that, after all, Mis sissippi will come up to the standard fixed for her” and her Southern sisters, as we do that South and North Carolina will do the same. On the part of the Southern States, there should now be no faltering in accepting, nor any obsta cle thrown in the way of the President in his policy of restoration. Georgia, as one of them, had made up her mind to give up slavery', and, however bitter the pill, she repudiated her debt contracted during the war; and she has also di rected her Legislature to enact a code of laws that will provide for her non-slavery*condition— her Convention having raised a committee to prepare a code for that purpose, who are now at work. We know of no one requisition of the President which the Convention has not com plied with, or directed its compliance with by* her Legislature; and we trust that the President will not deem it necessary to keep her under mili tary government or martial law, longer than it will take her to establish civil government within her borders. Captain Rynders.—This well known indi vidunl lias again “turned up” at Tammany. Hall, his early* characteristics still reigning supreme within him, as the following report of a recent address before that political association exem plifies: CAPTAIN RYNDERS’ ADDRESS. Gentlemen, said the Captain, baring his Jovian brows aud standing like a tower, gentlemen, I am almost a stranger to Tammany*, whence I was driven out some years ago, but an abiding affection for the Old Wigwam brings me once more among you. Why did I leave old Tam many ? Because she forsook the principles of the Democratic party, and trained with the Black Republicans. Your'managers are no longer true to Democratic principles. They are tricksters, for only tricksters would nominate a man whom they knew could not be elected, and whom they did not intend to support, as they' nominated Carolan O'Brien Bryant. Voice—How about the Fenians ? Captain—I shall come to that presently. Don’t interrupt me. As I was about to observe— Voice (amid crie^ of “Put him out!’’)—Dry up ! How about the Fenians ? Captain—I am never uncivil to anybody, but if that dirty, low-lived, contemptible' scoundrel doesn’t shut up liis jaw*. I’ll come there and kick him. Don't call him to order. He doesn’t know what order is. He thinks it means something to eat, and therefore opens liis mouth like a damned fool. (Laughter.) One good kick is worth an ocean of advice to such a miserable unlicked cur. A letter from Richmond says the “National Express Company” is making a great stir, and is to be much more extended in its operations than the present Expresses. It is to go off railroads and deliver goods in the interior. It is to carry packages, boxes and casks. It is to supercede the necessity of forwarding houses. Hundreds of applications are daily made tor situations from all parts of the South. Every man who has been in the army and has no occupation, feels that he is entitled to a good salary* from this company. It is made for the soldiers, and they have a right to profit hy it. The company starts under favora ble auspices. It has abundant capital, and has united with it the Reid Express, a well-establish ed and efficient company. The recent earthquake at Sau Francisco was attended by some odd incidents. In the Bank Exchange building, a gentleman who was play ing at billiards stepped to the rack to select a cue, anil was seen no more until the shock was over, when lie was found lying at the bottom of the stairs w ith two billiard cues grasped tightly in hi# hands, and the (joints of both protruding through the window pane. The French Empress has been visiting the Paris hospitals, and the French journals are en thusiastic iu jvraise of her kindness to the patients. The Emperor also had visited the Hotel Dieu and the military hospitals. Two frigates were tp leave Toulon on the 2$tii ult., to bring home a portion of the French troops in the Papal States. Tiif. distinguished poet and lawyer. Hon. A. B. Meek, of Alabama, died at Columbus, Miss., on the 1st instant, where he had been sojourning for some months. Judge Meek held a high place in literature in this country, and his death will be mourned throughout the South wherever he was known. + Steps are being taken in Macon, Georgia, to purchase a steam fire engine. ATLANTA. GA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22,1365. NUMBER 16. ! The Southern Recorder says: Should Mr. Jen- ! kins lie elected Governor, and there is no doubt j up/m the subject ; a vacancy will occur upon the • Supreme Bench. We have heard tiiree names mentioned in connection with the Bench, Judge Hiram Warner, Judge H. V. Johnson and Judge I. L. Harris. Should either of the two first named gentlemen, desire the [visition, Judge Harris will not lie a i-andidate, but should both decline. Judge II. will l>e presented by his friends for the position, ami if elected, will "fill the place with honor and credit to himself. We learn also that Judge Richard H. Clark, of Albany, wijl also be a candidate for the vacant judgeship. The gentlemen thus named all stand eminently high in tlie legal profession and are favorably known to the people of the State. The following Post Offices have been re-opened in Georgia, and appointments of Post masters made: Warreuton, Warren county: James Cody’ Postmaster, vice W. W. Padgett. Bear Creek, Henry' county: Thomas McMahon Postmaster, vice F. M. Street. Social Circle, Walton county: A. M. Colton Postmaster, vice John B. Davis. Milner, Pike county : re-appoint W. J. Howe. Kingston, Cass county: J. M. Anderson Post master, vire N. H. Eddy, moved away. Alabama Election for Governor.—The -atest indications are, Patton is elected Governor of Alabama. It is reported that he has carried North Alabama by four thousand majority, which insures his election. Carl Sohurz is at New York making up a report ot liis recent investigations at the South. He will soon remove to the West, probably St. Louis. One ok the Finest Inventions of the Aoe. —There is now* on exhibition at the office and salesroom of the.Greenwood Loom Company, in the Mechanics’ Institute Building, a machine that many* farmers will be interested in seeing.— It is Mendenhall’s Self-Acting Hand Loom, 't'his loom is exceedingly simple in construction, dur able in structure, easy of operation, and com pletely satisfactory in its results. A simple crank, which a child ten years old may turn, gives all the motion and three required, and effects all the results of a first-class power loom. It will weave every kind of textile fabric, from fine linen or cotton to heavy rag carpeting, in a very superior style, and with a rapidity of execution quite as tonishing to some of the hand weavers of the country, who manage to band out four or five yards per day. Having so heavy a war debt to pay*, a debt which every patriot will take pleasure in paying, it becomes every* citizen to practice economy, and this is just the machine needed at this time to enable the farmer and mechanic of the country to economize his expenditures. A farmer with a few sheep and one of these looms may laugh at all high tariffs on fine muslin and broadcloths, for liis family can be elegantly clothed by home industry. This loom will weave from fifteen to thirty yards per day of fabric as perfect as that turned out by the factories. During the period between 1852 and 1859, a number of patents were granted lor successive improvements, among which was the loom known as Lamb’s self-acting hand-loom, of which Mr. Mendenhall w as the original inventor and pro prietor. But some imperfections still being dis covered, letters patent were granted in 1864 and 1865, to Mr. Mendenhall, covering improve ments that apparently* embrace everything to make it perfect. Inconsequence of the high price of all kinds of fabrics, and the very* great economy afforded by this loom, an immense demand for this ma chine has risen, and it is now being manufactured in ample suppply for all demands by a company* with that well-known macliinist, Miles Green wood, at its head. The firm is known as the Greenwood Loom Company*. Little Bennie. ET ME.*. ANNIE I'U.V'&SKR-* KETClH'M, OF MEMPUlri. I hud told him (.[iri*tuias morning. As ho sat nnrtn*ny knee.

The rivers Loire and Rhone, in Gaul, were regularly frozen over every year, so that whole armies, with their carriages and baggage, could march over them. Even the Tiber froze at Rome; and Juvenal says that it was requisite to break the ice in win ter in order to come at the water of the river.— Many passages in Horace suppose the streets of Rome to be full of ice and snow*; and Ovid as sures us that the Black Sea was frozen annually. The latter writer relates several circumstances concerning the climate which at present agree only with Norway aud Sweden. The forests of Thrace and Pannonia were full of bears and wild boars, aud the Northern part of Spain was little inhabited for the same cause. Indeed, all the ancients who mention the climate of Gaul, German j*, Pannonia, and Thrace, speak of it as almost insupportable, and agreO that the ground was covered with snow the greatest part of the year, being incapable of producing olives, grapes and most other fruits. Mr. Mallett conceives that, the forests being cleared away, the face of the country cultivated, and the marshy places drained, the moist exhalations which gen erate cold must be considerably lessened, and that the rays of the sun must have a freer access to warm the earth. In addition to the general causes which insensibly effect the destruction of forests,'it was formerly common to set them on fire in order to procure fertile fields. One of the Kings of Sweden was sumamed the “ Wood- Cutter, for having cleared vast provinces by fell ing the trees with which they were covered. Im mense forests were also thus cleared away in Norway and Denmark. A similar change in the climate, and for the lame causes, has: been gradually going on in oili- own country since its settlement by Europeans. ‘ Tlie oldest inhabitant ” of a 113* neighborhood can remepilier wheat he winters were much more severe than they now are. Vile Family of Jefferson Daym-Mt. Jefferson Davis was well known by sight to most of the citizens of Richmond and sojourners here during the war. He plight be seen any morning walking with erect mien and measurmilitary step from his residence on Clay street to his office, in the third story of the Custom House; or any even ing during the spring and summer of 1862, the latter part of 1864, and the early months of the present year, at which several times the Federal hosts were laying siege to Richmond, riding to the front, alone, or accompanied by a single aid. These frequent occasions gave an opportunity of becoming familiar with his appearance. With Mrs. Davis it was different. Few of our citizens, beyond the congregation of St. Paul’s church, ever saw her ana not more than a dozen visited her sociably. She and her sister. Miss Howell, found their society among the wives and daugh ters of Confederate officials, who, with the staff and post officers of the Confederate army, made up what was known as the “court circle.”— Though Mr. Davis’ family were little known to onr people, they, for four years, held such a high position here that their fate must be a. matter of some interest to us. With the purpose of stating their whereabouts this paragraph was begun. Mrs. Jefferson Davis is residing at the house of a Mr. Schuyler, near Augusta, Ga. She enjoys her usual robust health, is under no surveillance, and is permitted to correspond at will with her husband and friends. Mrs. Howell, Mrs. Davis’ mother, is in general charge of the children of the latter, of whom Maggie, aged eleven years, is at the convent of the Sacred Heart at Montreal, and Jeff, aged nine, is at school at Lennoxville, distant from Montreal sixty miles. Burton N Harrison and Colonel Lnbbock, of Mr. Davis' military family are still in solitary confinement at Fort Delaware.—Richmond Times. Oct 25. Tue Sixth Sense.—Ah Edinburgh professor puts forth a proposition that to man should be ascribed a sixth sense, to be called the sense of weight. He urges that if two little cubes, one of lead and the other of wood, were gilded over so as to look precisely alike, and of the same temperature, no one of the five senses usually allotted to man would indicate which was which. It was only by taking them up and comparing their weight that this could be discovered—and this sense he thinks ought be included with the others in-our enumeration. The following is said to be the copy of a let ter sent by a member of the legal profession to a person who was indebted to one of his clients: Sir: lam desired to apply to you for one hun dred dollars due to my client, Mr. Jones. If you send me the money by this day week, you will oblige me; if not I will oblige you.” Like caressing clinging shadows On his plump and peachy cheek; And I bend above him weephisr Thankful tears—r>h, nndefilell !

Ed. Maynard left our city forPriitiklin'in'a buggy. At a point known as Holly’ Tree, about four miles from Franklin, they were attacked In* three daring highwaymen. One of tlie robbers seized the bridle of the horse; while the two others present ed their pistols, cocked, to the heads of their vic tims, at the same time calling upon them to “de liver or die.” As both of our young friends value their lives beyond this world’s riches, they con sented to “deliver and live.” One of them took a very fine pistol from Col. Maynard, but upon his being informed that rhe weapon was a “relic from his deceased father,” the chivahie robber discharged it andgava.it back to him. They were then ordered to get out of the buggy, when the robbers instituted a thorough search for money* and valuables, .While they were thus engaged, “Jecms” grew indignant, and cursed them as low-flung cowards, and placed his hand, on his pistol, but the weapon only beingsupport- ed by liis pants at the waist, slipped and fell, down tlie leg of his pants into his boots. In the meantime, one of the villains shot at him, and the ball passed through iff# clothes, grazing his light side. a r1iar»POtinn was tiro rdieg “’Mgy “ discretion was the better part of Valor, Tne “boys” concluded to submit to their fate rvith a good grace. They took $500 in money and a very fine gold watch from Gen. Brownlow. Col. Ed. Maynard w*as searched from head to foot, but it was of no avail, for he was_ “dead broke,” and the only article of value on his person was the “family relic” which lie prized beyond money. Tlie thieves were sat isfied after obtaining “deems”’ valuable#, and even submitted to some very* unpleasant remarks from him. They were dressed in Federal uni form, and we- would not be surprised if the scoundrels were detected. Col. Maynard felt somewhat embarrassed at his extreme poverty on the occasion, and had be known that such an occurrence would take place, he would have stuck a fifty cent stamp in his pocketbook to save his reputation. As it was, the robbers left with a very p#>r opinion of him. It wash daring at tack, and consummated so suddenly that neither of the parties in the buggy* had time to draw their weapons. The three scoundrels also robbed a cotton planter, who was returning from this city on the same night, of several thousand dol lars. These highwaymen have been, operating on the Franklin pike for some time past, and we think it is about time that they were “wound up.”—Nashville Dispatch. In a recent number of the Tribune, Horace Greeley, in advocating negro suffrage, referred to tlie Island of Jamaica, as furnishing a happy and conclusive illustration of tlie intelligence, refine ment, industry and Christian virtues of the eman cipated negro, when endowed bv a wise govern ment with all the attributes of citizenship. In Jamaica the negro is hot only free^hut the black is the dominant race. There are twenty* black to one white inhabitant; there they* control the local parliament, hold most of the offices, anil have their way in all things. Yet, in Mr. Greeley's Paradise, an utterly causeless, unprovoked negro rebellion has 1 just broken out, having for its object the massacre of the unoffending whites. The insurgents have already, in the agricultural districts of Jamaica, committed all those nameless brutalities upon defenseless women and children which invaria bly mark the rebellions of the negro. The latest news show's that neither the Sepoy's in India, nor the negroes in Hayti, were more brutally, fero cious than these wretches. The heart sickens at the details of tlieir atrocities. The latest news from the scene of the insurrection is that the re bellion is raging with unprecedented fun* in St. Thomas, in the East, where ‘outrages, tmsurpass- ed even by* the natives of New* ! Zealahd in their late war, were being committed on the‘property and lives of the unfortunate white-people resid ing there. The volunteers* who had been sent to the insurrectionary* districts had met various bands of tlie rebels, but only ■ succeeded in re pulsing a small number of insurgents. One band of negroes thoroughly* organized had swept ev erything before it. ; The leaders had taken pos session of a Baptist Church, which was used as headquarters, whence all orders to tlie insurrec tionary detachments Were issued. The Kingston and .other volunteers, however, continued to press forward in the midst Of the rebellion*; district with great courage and perseverance. The Tribune is discreetly silent with reference to the:performances of- its “model vnteis” in Jamaica;. * riVe search theoohmins of that paper in vain For the slightest trace of: the great- negro massacre of the. whites in-Jamaica. We find much spiacc devoted to tlie wrongs at irtithe freed men in the States lately* in rebellion,” but- of the hacking to- pieces -of white men, women; and children by* the seraphic suffragans of Jamaica not a W'ord is said. A speech of-Mr. Horace Greeley in glorification of the negro is published, but the humanitarian has not a word of sympa thy for those English ladies and gentlemen of a lonely island of the West Indies who are being hunted down and tortured, not by slaves, but by the exemplary and intelligent voters whom hie referred with so much, exultation -a few ! weeks since.—Richmond Times.. ■ -. n ,'.bi :w The Earthquake at San Francisco.—The San Francisco papers liiiyijsh.additionalparticu: lars of the effects of the severe earthquake shocks experienced in (hat city pu the 8th and 9th of last month.

Correet views respecting tlie danger to be feared, no matter j how great that danger may be, will fe : far more j conducive to the welfare of the public mind than | the feverish unrest produced and stimulated by ; the vague and sensational rumors which from < small beginnings of slight foundations, attain;' to ■ collossal growth by the additions gained at each I repitition. Cholera can no more reproduce itself and spread through the community, of itself, without I adventitious circumstances, than a grain of corn can sprout and blossom aud ear. The seeds of cholera may have been brought hither in the Ata- lanta. These seeds must die unless they be planted in appropriate soil. If there is any fact settled in medicine, it is that cholera is not a contagious disease, that it is not communicated from one person to another by the touch or the breath, by clothing and the like. Cholera seed planted in a locality—as confined ship, a close crowded house, a dirty, illy- ventilated part of the city, or an entire town— contaminates the air ol the locality. We have then an epidemic influence in that place, be it large or small. In these places disease of some nature is always present, malaria, typhus, or general cachexia, and the place is always ready to receive any new disease, measles of great viru lence, small pox, diptheria, cholera or yellow fe ver. These places evince the disease of the sea son as markedly as Broadway shows the water falls, little crowns or tan-colors of the prevailing fashion. One thing, therefore, is plainly the duty of those who have charge of the health of the peo ple—to prevent these plague-spots. This is not tlie matter of a day or a season. A week can clean the gutters, empty* the cesspools and the garbage barrels, but the' omitted and disregarded duties of last year and previous years cannot be done now. The over crowded tenement houses have been allowed by unprincipled legislators to be built, the evii consequences are now to be seen iu the decimation of the unfortunate occupants, and the spread of the scourge throughout the community. Now it is that the defeated Health Bill is seen to be a public misfortune.— But the cholera is not yet rife amongst us; there is yet time for our Legislature to do some tiling for our help. Let any one who fears the cholera in liis family*, who fears its effects in.hU business, not stop to wring his hands, but let him try by his vote and by his influence on friends and on the community, to effect the passage of a suitable health bill during the coming winter. 2. A general prevalence of cholera requires still another element, allowing that the cholera has had its seeds brought hither by the Atalaata, these seeds planted in some fitting locality dis tinguished by its dirt and absence of general by- genic care, temperature is another requisite for general prevalence. Our coming season, with its icy fetters, will keep down any strides of this malady. It may creep slowly from one room of a poorly* ventilated tenement-house to another, but its epidemic character will freeze iu crossing a street. Look at one of these rooms, '1,^ fret- square, filled with a family* of children, cat and' dog, where the red-hot cooking stove, burns out the little life remaining in the aij already filled with the fumes of- the soup and cabbage-pot, the wash-kettle, and the emanations of so many ani mal bodies. Why, the feather beds of a single building unchanged since then first use, will nurse contagion enough to impregnate a city. A visitor from one of these rooms to another iden tical with this, and adjoining to it/ will thus spread the disease oven in dead winter; and in such localities cholera maybe even more potent than in summer, where.there ;is general ventila tion from the opeii doors and windows ’ The disease Mill thus be seen' to be. an winter a local one, producing gteat ravages, blit in confined^liti - entities only. „ The final element of the propagation of cholera : depends upon the individual. Disease fs fashionable, like everything else.. ‘ (ff any of us are able to get a new hat this'fall, wej i get one of the prevalent inodes. So if any’ one of us are going to be sick, we get the illness that is current in tlie community*. In certain seasons of the y*ear, if we expose ourselves to the air and take cold, it attacks the lungs ; at another, the bowels; at another; gives us rheumatism, &e. If we over-eat, or over-drink, it always does uf some injury; if we are liarrassed by business, or family cares we are made sick. In what wajbyve manifest the sickness or in what shape it put^,it self, depends upon the season and the epidemic influence of the season. Should the cholera be come epidemic, a carouse which our highest political place until the virile age was long past. An “old public functionary,” as Mr. Buchanan once called himself, is likely to bo a despicable object; and if it were that no American citizen could look to be President on ly when he had ceased to be fit for that or any* other post 01 responsibility, we should be in a poor case. But, compared with our English cousins, we jure ruled by a set of young men; and it is, per haps, just as well that our Presidents and other high officials have usually* attained to years of moderation and prudence before they are en trusted with [tower. “Old men for council, voung men for fight,” was an old Indian proverb; John C. Breckinridge is the youngest man in the roll of Vice-Presidents—and his hot blood led him into the most flagrant treason. Emile Girardin recently* reproached the blind- pess of death, “which has removed Richard Cobden, aged sixty-one.” Cobden’s death was mourned as untimely; and truly, among the pres ent race of British statesmen lie was counted bnt a young man. Palmerston is Prime Minister and eiglity-one; President Johnson is but fifty- seven, and Mr. Lincoln was but fifty-six. Earl Russell is Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and sev enty-three Mr. Seward, onr Foreign Secretary*, is the oldest man in the administration, and but sixty-four. Mr. Cameron, the former Secretary of war, is but two years his senior. The Lord High Chanceller of England is sixty-five, but Chief Justice Ghase is but fifty-seven Mr. Glad stone is fifty-six, ahd is reproached as a very young man. He is the future premier of England, but Earl Russell stands between him and the suc cession in case of Lord Palmerston’s death. Lord Derby, tlie chief of the English opposi tion, is sixty-six, and Ids second Mr. D’lsraeli, is sixty*, aa/l must some time ago have laid aside the flowing locks with which Punch still deco rates his fiead. Among the lesser lights, men who are slowly working their way upward, and of whom the British public expect something in the course of time, are Mr. Milner Gibson, who fifty-eight, Lord Clarence Paget, the laborious Secretary* of tlie Admirality, fifty-four, Mr. White- side, the eminent Irish barrister, fifty-nine, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, sixty-seven, and; other not less ma ture “rising young meu.” > Let us look for a, moment at the ages of out- own. prominent public men. Mr. Buchanan, be came President at the age of sixty-five; Mr. Pierce at forty-eight; Mr, Lincoln at fifty-two; Mr. Johnson'at fifty-seven. Breckinridge was but thirty-four when'he was chosen Vice-Presi dent ; Mr. Douglas was but forty-eight when he died; Mr..Seward became sixty-five but a few days ajro, and after a long life, in opposition, reached the second place in tlie Administration at the early age of sixty-one.

I am a waiting my release to make Ar rangements for the coming year, but the season is so rapidly* advancing that it wjll soon be too late. I do not, however, complain. I_am better off thai#many others, and feel compassion for their sufferings. I feel that God is taking cafe of my family* and myself.

There is a singular story of a Parisian milliner who had a lunatic lover: In one of the fashionable milliner’s shops of the neighborhood of the Chaussee d’Anlin, where icight or nine-girls are - employed, the jaundice ■suddenly appeared. Eveiy girl became as yel low as Maiyland tobacco after a sea voyage. The shop had been famous tor its beauties," and there was scarcely an hour of the day but some fellow* was peering through the bright plate glass, trying to discover, despite its reflection, the charm ing. feces assembled around tfe centre table Wu'Cre’ all Woi-kcd. It became in. a very'short |time as famous for its “frights” as it was for its beauties.. .The mistress became seriously alarmed, for you know our atmosphere is filled with ru mors r of Russian plagues and Asiatic chplera. She suspected the jaundice heralded one J of these epidemics. Her inquiries led to the discov ery that jaundice was produced by. jealousy. You know this disease is oftener produced by moral than physical causes. One of their com radra—me* Ugliest and oldest of them till, had quitted the shop and lived in oue of the most sumptuous suites of rooms to be found. on the first floors of ^ie new boulevards. She had eight or ten horses in her stable, valets in her dining room, kncTchambermaids afbout her. Her delight was to- go in her. .flnlest.carriage, and covered with all her diamonds to order the most expen sive bonnet in the shop where she used to work. The old girls were thus doomed to Tantalu’.s punishment, and the pain produced the jaundice. They* soon heard the,Itojy of their comrade. One evening ohshe wfts accosted Hy a ; yourig -gihttleman of brilliant appearance and atthictivte manners, who told her he fed long placed in fils possession, for thte first time iri hfer life—felt the stranger was- jeering her, but,she soon found (for passion, lots- accents wfifch, canpot be. imitated,) that Le u was iii earnest, arid at last she deigned to. sfrare fui Wealth.
